The Quick Reaction Force for Fascism

This is a preview of The Weekender edition of the Muckrake Podcast. Please go to ⁠patreon.com/muckrakepodcast⁠ to gain access to the regular Weekender episodes on Fridays. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman dig into the Pentagon’s new “domestic civil disturbance” rapid deployment plan, why it signals a creeping police state, and how it connects to ICE’s push for legalized racial profiling. They also cover Gavin Newsom’s decidedly non Trump-style gerrymandering gambit, the Trump takeover of the Kennedy Center, and a disturbing report on Meta’s AI chatting with minors.
